Poems
Dec 2015
The Strings of my Heart Have Snapped
The strings of my heart have snapped, said Job
Have I had sorrow like that?
That return trip I take to anguish
All my energy is sapped
It feels like too much sorrow
No hope of coming up clover
Like the tongue to the sore tooth
Replays it over and over
My broken heart cannot stay away
From what has hurt me the most
It takes up hours of my time
While I’m hosting my own roast
Lamenting, regretting, I'm busy
Ruminate, perseverate, too
I disconnect from reality
Not seeing how I’ll make it through
Composing clever conversations
For a moment I see light
When my heart opens wide to recover
Making all things turn out right
But, no, it’s not meant to end well there
I must suffer for all my crimes
And relive how my heart got broken
Once again till the end of time.
